Sleep-apnea-diagnostic

A sleep-apnea-syndrome might me suspected if:
Snoring or breathing-stops during sleep are noticed regularly by the partner and/or excessive sleepiness coccurs in the morning or during daytime and/or the patient feels exhausted in the morning.

By a special recording device equipped with diverse sensors, which is - after instruction in my practice - applied by the patient himself at his home before he goes to bed, such sleep-related breathing disorders can be diagnosed very well.

This is also done in patients suffering from hypertension or cardiac arrhythmias during night-time and otherwise inexplicable sleep-disturbances.
Patients whose diagnosed sleep-apnea-syndrome is already treated with a breathing mask ("nasal-CPAP-therapy") can have the optimal settings of their respirator controlled.
The morning after the recording the device will be brought back to the practice, the data read out, analysed and discussed with the patient. If necessary, further steps are initiated.

Please tell the ladies at my reception that you are making an appointment because of suspected sleep-apnea-syndrome, so we can reserve a device for you on the day of your appointment. That saves time since you need not come to the practice twice.
